Lahm is considered one of the best full backs in the world, and was included in the World Cup team of the tournament in 2006 and 2010, the UEFA Team of the Tournament in 2008 and in the FIFA Team of the Year 2008. He is well known for his pace, dribbling and precise tackling abilities as well as his small stature. Although Lahm is right-footed, he is able to play on both sides of the pitch. He often cuts from the flank to the inside of the pitch to either shoot or pass.

In August 2011 at age 27 he released his autobiography, Der feine Unterschied: Wie man heute Spitzenfußballer wird (The Subtle Difference - How to Become a Top Footballer), reviewing his football career and personal experiences, the general football environment, football in the social context and the effectiveness of different coaching and training methods. The No.1 bestselling book received extensive media attention in Germany, and has been criticized for parts of the book in which he discerningly analyzed his former coaches work, among the critics were Rudi Völler (himself criticized by Lahm in the book) and Ottmar Hitzfeld.

Bayern's Philipp Lahm Retires as Germany Captain

He won the FIFA World Cup as captain of Germany but it was to be his last act at the national team skipper. Shortly after the tournament, the 30-year old announced his retirement from the international stage. We pay tribute to Germany's World Cup winning captain - who will surely have plenty more opportunties to lift trophies with Bayern Munich.

Philipp Lahm - Player of the Season

The champions' captain was referred to by his coach Pep Guardiola as the most intelligent footballer he has ever worked with. Lahm has often played in the centre of midfield this season and has been just as outstanding there as he is at right back.

__________________________________________
The style of pass is about how to tuck inside to create a passing lane and then pass with the outside of your foot. This looks easy but it's advanced. You won't use this style of passing every time you make a pass but it's very effective when needed.
Any position on the field can use this type of passing option. As a pro and in college I played center mid and right back. I LOVE this type of pass; it is one of my favorites!
Key Points:
Key Point #1
Fake like you are going to pass to the outside and push the ball using the inside of your foot across your body to the inside. Make sure you accelerate a few steps to create the 1-2 seconds of space you need to get your pass off.
Key Point #2
Look up to see the passing lane and make sure it's there.
Key Point #3
Pass the ball with the outside of your foot in the passing lane. You want to pass the ball so it curves around the defender and into the space in front of your attacker. Now your winger can run on to it and make a cross.
Key Point #4
Shout turn, go or run as you pass. Tell your teammate what to do and to run onto this ball. If you can make the game easier for your teammates by telling them what to do, you will be a better player.
Equipment Needed:
You will need a few balls and 4 cones for the exercise!
Exercise Player Can Do:
Now for an exercise we can do to practice. Set up a start cone and a defender cone a few steps in front of it. Place all your balls at the start cone. Then place two cones up and to the side of the field. One cone will be your defender, one will be your imaginary attacker.
Start off walking through this exercise so you get the idea. Fake a pass towards the sideline, touch inside, accelerate a few steps and then make the outside of your foot pass curve into the space behind the defender and in front of your winger.
Once you got it, do a few reps with the balls you got. Rest and repeat till you master it!
If you have a partner then have them be the attacker running onto the ball. After you do a few reps then switch with your partner.

Meet Owen Abott. Owen is a Believe in it® Athlete from Louisiana. His "it" is to play pro soccer.

What Player Could Be Doing Wrong:
Some things that could be going wrong. In a game or practice if the defender keeps intercepting your pass then you are forcing it. Don't force it. If you look up and the pass it not there then make a simple pass and keep the ball moving. Keep the rhythm of the game. This play doesn't work if you try to force it.
Bonus Tip:
Philipp Lham is 5 foot 7 inches. Lots of players ask me about height and if height matters. Lham is about this tall. He's won the Champions League, played in 3 World Cups, won the World Cup in 2014 and he captains both his club and country.
Clearly height doesn't matter for Lham so don't let it matter for you. Don't stress about what you can't control like how tall you are. Worry about what you can control like how good you can be if you practice!
